Hello,
I am new on the list and I am sorry if my question is irrelevant with the list.

In a program I have to remove a file. I did "perdoc perlfunc" and I found

Functions for filehandles, files, or directories

"-X", "chdir", "chmod", "chown", "chroot", "fcntl", "glob", "ioctl", "link",
"lstat", "mkdir", "open", "opendir", "readlink", "rename", "rmdir", "stat", "symlink", "sysopen", "umask", "unlink", "utime"


there is nothing to remove a file ?

I did perldoc perlfaq5 where I found

   Why does Perl let me delete read-only files?  Why does
      "-i" clobber protected files?  Isn't this a bug in Perl?

      This is elaborately and painstakingly described in the
      file-dir-perms article in the "Far More Than You Ever
      Wanted To Know" collection in
      http://www.cpan.org/misc/olddoc/FMTEYEWTK.tgz .

when I do

wget http://www.cpan.org/misc/olddoc/FMTEYEWTK.tgz

I get error 404 not found

Perhaps it's not a function in Perl ?

Can someone tell me how to remove a file in Perl ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
